The RS232 Baud rate field determines the speed of
communications between the E2 and an RS232 device
(such as a satellite link or PC).
The baud rate selected in this field should correspond
with the baud rate for the RS232 device. For example, if
connecting a PC to this port, the PC’s COM port should
be set up to communicate at the same rate as what is set
in this field.
There are four options to choose from. Select one of
the options below using  (LOOK UP) depending on
the type of connection.
• Port Disabled - When this option is selected, the
RS232 port will be disabled.
• 9600 Baud (recommended for satellite)
• 19.2 Kbaud (recommended for modem)
• 38.4 Kbaud (recommended for modem)
• 57.6 Kbaud (recommended for modem)
•115.2 Kbaud (recommended for direct connect)
10.11.2 I/O Network Baud Rate
The I/O Network baud rate is the rate at which the E2
will communicate with input and output boards on the
RS485 I/O Network, and is located directly below the
RS232 Baud rate field.
You may select either 9600 baud, 19.2 Kbaud, or
Port Disabled in this field. The appropriate baud rate is
9600 baud.
NOTE: If a baud rate is changed in this screen,
the controller must be rebooted (turned OFF
then ON again) to make the baud rate change
occur.
